About CO2 Club Origin
The gay club in Bas-Chantenay
CO2 Club Origin, known as "le CO2" to Nantes regulars, is a gay club at 3 Rue de la Cale Crucy, in the Bas-Chantenay neighbourhood of Nantes. Set close to the banks of the Loire, this nightspot hosts parties on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 23:45 to 07:00. Entry is for adults only.
Inside, there are two rooms with very different energies. According to published reviews, the main room vibrates to techno, hard techno and trance on a big sound system. The smaller room has a more intimate vibe, leaning towards house, groove, minimal or drum and bass. Between sets, the covered terrace is a proper place to hang out, chat and catch your breath in peace.
Music and party nights
The club also hosts parties with guest collectives. According to published reviews, Saturday has the strongest queer mix, with a very uninhibited crowd. Friday draws more pure techno fans, while Thursday brings a more student and local crowd.
Good to know
According to published reviews, it's best to arrive around 00:15 or 00:30 to avoid the big queue at the door. The party is in full swing from 02:00. Dress light and wear comfortable shoes, as the temperature rises fast in the rooms.
